Abstract 

Noise control is required to ensure crew habitability onboard an offshore platform. Applying noise prediction is important to identify the potential noise problem at the early stage of the offshore platform design to avoid costly retrofitting in the implementation stage. Noise data were collected. The 4 output targets are namely: spatial sound pressure level (SPL), spatial average SPL, structure-borne noise and airborne noise at different octave frequencies (e.g. 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, 8000 Hz). The spatial SPL consists of both direct and diffuse field (or reverberant field) obtained from a commercial SEA modeling software called VAOne ™ and MATLAB™, respectively. The spatial SPL is achieved from the logarithmic sum of both the direct field and reverberant component. The 13 inputs are the parameters of the rooms in the offshore platform.
